Renewable energy a viable option sp gonchaudhuri
The document discusses renewable energy as a viable option for power generation. It notes that worldwide renewable energy capacity and potential is large, but current consumption is still low, especially for new renewables like solar and wind. However, the scenario is changing rapidly as these sources are being aggressively adopted due to factors like rising fossil fuel prices, environmental pressures, and the need to electrify rural areas. The document uses India as a case study, where over half a billion people lack electricity access. It argues that solar and biomass power are already financially viable options in many remote areas compared to conventional fuels. The projected cost of coal power is also increasing more than previously estimated, suggesting grid parity between coal and solar could be achieved by 2015
The beginning of the end of Dumsor in Ghana
Dumsor refers to the frequent power outages that have plagued Ghana's energy sector since 2001 due to shortfalls in generation capacity as a result of drought from climate change. This led to a deficit of 800MW at peak times in 2015, causing many Ghanaian companies to collapse. In response, the Energy Commission has embarked on a Rooftop Solar Installation Scheme to increase renewable energy usage. The document discusses how the writer took advantage of this scheme to power their business and home with solar during outages. It calls on policymakers to adopt new policies to support shifting to over 40% renewable sources by 2027, and urges the public to act together on climate initiatives now.

Enhancing nigerias power supply through enhanced ppp programme
Nigeria has a population of 170 million but generates only 5,000 megawatts of electricity, far below the country's needs. The government cannot afford the $3.5 billion in annual investment required to meet the country's power requirements of 15,000 megawatts in the short term and 40,000 megawatts by 2020. Enhanced public-private partnerships that leverage private capital and expertise are needed to boost Nigeria's power supply. Solar energy in particular has strong potential due to Nigeria's high solar resources and the decreasing costs of solar power.

RENWEABLE ENERGY TO ADDRESS THE GENERATION AND SUPPLY OF CONSTANT ELECTRICITY IN NIGERIA: A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Ghana | May-16 | The Role of Renewable Energy in Improving Energy Access to R...
The document discusses the role of renewable energy in improving energy access to rural areas in Nigeria. It notes that Nigeria has an installed generating capacity of 6000MW but only 40% of the population has access to the grid, with over 80% of rural areas lacking electricity access. Renewable energy can help supply electricity in a sustainable manner to rural households. The document outlines various productive uses of renewable energy in rural areas like rural electrification, water projects, healthcare, agriculture, education, and more. Barriers to renewable energy access in Nigeria include policy issues, financing, technology, awareness, and resource assessment. Improving renewable energy access can boost rural living standards, empowerment, jobs, and development while reducing poverty and migration to urban areas
Financing Strategy for Nigeria Infrastructural Deficit
1. Nigeria faces a huge infrastructure deficit estimated to cost $30 trillion over 30 years, including a shortage of 720,000 houses per year, 150,000km of unmotorable local roads, and poor quality healthcare facilities.
2. The power sector in particular is in poor condition, with insufficient and unreliable electricity hindering economic development, though renewable energy presents investment opportunities.
3. To finance infrastructure development, a government official's strategy would involve documenting investment opportunities in the power sector, exploring new financing sources, reallocating existing funds, avoiding future costs, and delivering resources more efficiently.
Building Electricity Supplies in Africa
Under business as usual scenarios, over 600 million Africans
would still lack access to electricity two decades from now.
Enhancing nigerias power supply through enhanced ppp programme
Nigeria has a population of 170 million but only generates 5,000 megawatts of electricity, far below its needs of 15,000 megawatts immediately and 40,000 megawatts by 2020. While the government has reformed the power sector, it cannot provide the $10 billion in annual capital required. Enhanced public-private partnerships utilizing Nigeria's abundant solar resources, which receive the highest solar irradiation in the world, are proposed to bring private capital and expertise and help close the massive power gap.

This document discusses opportunities and constraints of scaling up electricity access in The Gambia. Currently, less than half (42%) of the Gambian population has access to electricity, with over 90% dependent on biomass for cooking and heating. Scaling up access is a top government priority to support development. The government has implemented policies and projects through the Least Cost Power Development Plan to increase access, yielding opportunities. However, scaling up also faces substantial constraints, including technical challenges, institutional and policy issues, and financial difficulties. To effectively increase supply, the document recommends encouraging private-public partnerships with local energy entities able to generate 50-100MW, and signing a performance contract between the national utility and government.
Adb financing of sustainable energy solutions
This document discusses financing options for sustainable energy solutions in Africa. It notes Africa faces large energy deficits and high costs of power production. The annual financing gap for Africa's power sector is estimated at $23 billion. Public finance sources that could help close this gap include domestic taxation, official development assistance, emerging donors from countries like China, and innovative financing from carbon markets, aviation/maritime taxes, and financial transaction taxes. Private investment will also be important but returns are currently low, so public-private partnerships are encouraged.

Energy sustainability assessment-Zambia outlook-2017
This document provides an overview of Zambia's energy sector and sustainability outlook. It notes that currently 75% of Zambians lack access to electricity and energy consumption relies heavily on biomass. To address power deficits caused by decreasing rainfall, Zambia is employing governance strategies like REFIT to encourage private renewable development. Zambia has significant potential for solar, wind, biofuels and geothermal energy but will need to promote these sources faster and track implementation of renewable funds to make meaningful progress toward its energy sustainability goals.

Laos Rural Electrification
1. Rural electrification in Laos has expanded significantly over the past decades. In 1975, only 5% of families had access to electricity, but electrification reached 87% of households by 2014 through grid extensions and off-grid solutions.
2. Models for rural electrification in Laos include connecting households to the national grid, off-grid solutions like solar home systems and mini-grids, and a "Power to the Poor" program that provides interest-free credit to help the poorest households afford grid connections.
3. Key drivers of success for rural electrification in Laos have been sustained government commitment and funding, utility-driven grid expansion combined with off-grid programs, financial support from international donors
